About the prints:

Nelson Young's Limited Edition prints are produced digitally, using the Giclée method of printing. In essence each one is an original not a copy. Giclée prints, and are produced mainly by the ink-jet process. Each print, when pulled is checked against the artist's approved print for integrity and color matching. The print is signed, numbered and entered into a log book.

Ink Jet or Giclée : Spraying fine droplets of ink to create an image to match that on the computer. The size of the droplets varies depending upon the amount of color needed - a heavy area will be made with larger droplets than a lighter area. There are now many different substrates that can be used. Giclée was first coined by Jack Duganne in 1991, from the French verb 'to spray' (as from a nozzle). Hence the direct object of 'spraying nozzle' is giclée and refers to ink-jet technology that directs ink onto the substrate (paper). The first commercial ink-jet printer was the Iris which was developed by Scitex, and is now used as a generic term, an 'Iris' print.

The inks being water-based dyes, have to be thin enough to go through the nozzles but this structure does not make the dyes very lightfast. Which is key for any print, as no one is going to want a picture that will fade after a couple of years. Early ink-jet printers ink tested below 4 on The Blue Wool Scale. This is the standard by which lightfastness is measured (1 for low and 8 for high). All the traditional print processes use lightfast inks, so this is not a problem. It was therefore important that archival or lightfast inks were developed for ink-jet printers, with a strong resistance to fading. This has now been achieved, giving results better than 6 on the Blue Wool Scale. So, the correct inks must be used, especially when printing in more than 4 colors.
